Panel Discussion: Can We Talk? The Uneasy Relationship Between Journalism and Government
Journalists are sounding the alarm, saying there is an increasing lack of communication and openness from government at all levels. It is becoming more difficult to get an interview or a callback from politicians or their staff, with reporters being 'frozen out', thus making it harder for the public to be informed voters.
The School of Journalism, Writing & Publishing at the University of Kings College invites you to join Assistant Professor Pauline Dakin as she moderates a panel exploring the following topics:
- How governments and journalists interact and how that is evolving
- The impact on public knowledge and discourse when information access is limited and why that matters
- What could improve the flow of information and the relationship between government and journalism
The panelists:
- Laura Lee Langley, president of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
- Alex Marland, Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership, Acadia University
- Jean Laroche, retired CBC reporter
